John 16:7-11 ESV
[7] Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. [8] And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: [9] concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; [10] concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; [11] concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
Today is Pentecost Sunday. 2,000 years ago the entire world changed. For the first time in history, we had hope of salvation. The entire world. The Church was born and the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh.
No longer was it just about following laws about food, clothing, circumcision of the flesh, etc., now it’s about the changing of yourself. The transformation of your mind, the circumcision of your heart, and the molding into the Image of God. A return to the Garden of Eden.
Pentecost is our hope of that. It is our chance to get things right and undo the past and break the chains of the generational curse of sin. Now, because the Spirit has come our children are born holy. They are born unstained. No longer are the sins of Adam a plague none can escape, for we now have the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit changing us from the inside out. We have hope.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Changed By The Spirit.
